Millions of years of erosion created the gorges and waterfalls of the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park and they provide a million dollar view for intrepid aviators. The nostalgia and romance of the open cockpit Stearman Biplane adds a new dimension to the experience transporting you back to the golden era of aviation in the 1930s.
The Stearman provided basic training for thousands of military pilots before and during WW2 and is universally loved for its robust nature and docile handling.
